Your Horse. Your Story. Your Art.





You’ve poured your heart into your horse—and now you want portraits that show that love.

Whether you’re drawn to elegant fine art black background portraits or relaxed, emotional horse and rider images in the pasture, we’ll create a session that reflects the deep connection you’ve built. This experience is about you—your story, your bond, and the moments you never want to forget.

HORSE AND RIDER IN ADAMS TENNESSEE AT SNUSET

Capture the unforgettable love story between you and your horse. Horse & Rider sessions reveal the quiet strength, deep trust, and unique bond you share—showing not just what you look like together, but what you mean to each other.

HORSE & RIDER

These black background images turn your horse into art that speaks to the heart and elevates your space. The process is simple and stress-free. All we need is a shaded area like a barn aisle, indoor arena, or hay shed.

FINE ART EQUINE PORTRAITS

Because dogs are more than a pet—they’re your heart on four legs. The years fly by, but a photograph can hold onto the soul of who they are. Let’s capture their spirit, their comfort, and the little things you’ll miss most—so you never have to forget.

CANINES

Senior portraits with your horse capture more than a milestone—they tell the story of long rides, quiet moments, and the bond that shaped who you’ve become. Let’s celebrate both of you, just as you are, before this chapter turns to the next.

Your Experience, Step by Step

1.  THE PHONE CONSULTATION
We’ll start with a  phone call to get to know each other. You’ll share a bit about your story and vision, and I’ll walk you through all the details—session type, location, styling, and how you’d love to display your images. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions so you feel excited, informed, and completely at ease moving forward.

2.  ENJOY YOUR SESSION
This is where the magic happens. You’ll relax, connect, and simply enjoy time with your equine friend—while I guide you naturally through the session. No stress, no pressure—just real moments, beautifully captured. 

3. THE BIG REVEAL
About one to two weeks after your session, we’ll schedule your design consultation. This is when you’ll see your images for the first time—get ready for happy tears! I’ll walk you through choosing your favorites and creating artwork that fits beautifully into your home and life.

Kind Words from Kristen . . .

"I cannot more highly recommend Daphne’s Equine Portraits. Daphne immediately made me feel at ease throughout the process. Her years of professional experience are immediately recognizable, as she provided guidance on poses for me and my horse through the shoot. She helped me select the best photos and was very receptive to how I wanted the finished product to look. Daphne is patient, polite, and an overall joy to work with. I will always cherish the pictures of me and my horse, and I have Daphne to thank for that."

~Kristen P. 



Kind Words from Nan . . .

"Daphne was very pleasant and easy to work with. She had great ideas for setting up and placement for the best outcome for the pictures. She knew horses which made her patient to work with your horse. She offered her opinion as to which outfits would look best and would compliment your look in the picture which was definitely helpful because we all want to look slim and comfortable as well as natural. And yes I will definitely use Daphne’s professional photography skills again when I need to update my photos."

 





Meet Your Photographer

If you love the smell of hay, shavings, and leather—you’re in the right place. Horses have always been at the center of my world, too.

As a lifelong equestrian, mother, and dog lover, I know how deeply these animals become a part of us. That’s what makes creating portraits of them so personal. With over 20 years behind the camera, I bring both professional expertise and genuine understanding to every session—because I’ve lived this life, just like you.

Whether it’s a quiet morning in the pasture or the thrill of the show ring, every horse has a story worth preserving. My work has been nationally recognized with top industry awards and featured on magazine covers—but the real reward is creating artwork you’ll treasure forever. This is more than photography. It’s about honoring the life we both live and love.
